Set forth below is the text of a comment that I recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:

You need to let everybody who believes that Shiller’s Nobel-prize-winning research is legitimate research participate in discussions. Those who believe in research-based strategies have something important to add.

The entire point of doing research is to learn new things. So, when research is published that is so important that it merits a Nobel prize, you should not suppress discussion of it. You should celebrate your good fortune at having been born at a time when that research was available for your consideration.
